One day the feds, especially since they’re forbidden to study and understand the motivating ideology behind all this, are going to miss one of these plots, and people will be killed. Nothing is being done to prevent that from happening. The ideology that fuels this kind of thing is being taught all over this country, and it would be “Islamophobic” to oppose it.

“Ohio man who trained with Jabhat al-Nusra is indicted on terrorism charges,” by Adam Goldman, Washington Post, April 16, 2015:

An Ohio man who traveled to Syria in 2014 and trained with an al-Qaeda affiliate before returning to the United States, possibly to launch an attack on American soldiers, has been indicted on terrorism charges, federal prosecutors said Thursday.

Authorities also revealed that the man’s brother was killed last year fighting in Syria on behalf of the affiliate, Jabhat al-Nusra.

Abdirahman Sheik Mohamud, 23, of Columbus faces three felony counts that include attempting to provide and providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization as well as lying to the FBI.

It is the first public case the Justice Department has brought this year in connection with al-Nusra, unlike a string of federal cases tied to the Islamic State, the brutal militant group that produces slick propaganda and has attracted thousands of Western recruits.

Mohamud, who was born in Somalia, was previously arrested in February and pleaded not guilty to state terrorism charges and held on a $1 million bond. He was transferred to federal custody Thursday.

According to the indictment, Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen, began planning in 2013 to join his brother, Abdifatah Aden, who had left for Syria in May of that year.

On his Facebook page, he posted an image of what appeared to the black flag of the Islamic State and he uploaded another photograph of a soldier holding a sniper rifle with the Islamic State emblem on it.

In April 2014, prosecutors said, Mohamud bought a one-way ticket to Athens via a connecting flight from Istanbul.

Authorities said Mohamud never caught his connecting flight to Greece and instead began to make his way to the Turkish border with Syria. Turkey has become the most popular transit country for aspiring jihadists trying to reach the Islamic State and other groups.

In late April, the United States intercepted communications indicating that Mohamud had joined al-Nusra, although he had apparently traveled with the intention of enlisting in the Islamic State, according to court documents.

Once in Syria, Mohamud shared videos of himself holding weapons. But before he could join the fight, he said a cleric told him to return to the United States and carry out an act of terrorism at home, according to court documents.

Authorities said Mohamud flew back to the United States and later told an unnamed person that he had learned how to shoot weapons, had undergone explosives training, and wanted to target the U.S. armed forces as well as police officers. He said he would soon join his brother in death.

Mohamud told another unnamed person whom he attempted to recruit that he wanted to do something “big” and discussed attacking a military base in Texas and killing U.S. soldiers “execution style,” according to the indictment….

As horrible as it will be, it is inevitable that yet another jihad mass murder will happen. We can only hope that in the wake of the coming tragedies, that Obama’s actions to be politically correct and hamstring American law enforcement at the expense of the American public will be exposed on a massive scale in the trial to follow, and then he will be held to account. And, sadly it would be best for the tragedy to happen sooner than later, so that more future nightmares can be blocked as soon as possible. What a horrible position Obama has placed America in — the cases like the one in the story are escalating exponentially. They’re coming every day it seems!

We both agree that an attack in the U.S. would be better soon — rather than later down the calendar.

But I think that even if jihad victims in the last 6 years or so vary in size (from Fort Hood’s dozen to Colleen Hufford’s individual beheading) there is an accumulating awareness of Islam as the instigator.

CAIR’s goons cannot deflect attention away from what happens every week . . . Penetrating the thick skulls of our fellow citizens is not easy but given enough repetition a light bulb eventually wakes up.

I want you to look at the video linked to below. Too many of the police officers in this country are like officer whose dash cam shows most of the incident and who whines about the guy having a gun… and then doing not a goddam thing about it other than piss and moan and tell everyone to be careful. The officer who zooms in at the end does exactly the right thing given the totality of circumstances and is the kind of warrior the US needs – the whole world needs, in fact – to combat terrorism: identify the threat… stop the threat immediately. Enjoy.

The military should really be on alert for sleepers joining the military. I hope political correctness hasn’t dulled their senses. I know many rank and file intel people and military people get it, but they are beholden to their leadership. Say over time numerous muslims join the military, with the intent of eventually engaging in a jihad attack on a base. Well Fort Hood proved that once you penetrate the perimeter of a base, due to soldiers not being allowed to carry weapons on the base, they are very vulnerable. So say more than just one but say a dozen muslims over time get on the same base.

They could carry out a Mumbai style attack within a U.S military installation. Due to our obsession with political correctness and quotas and the enemy knowing this as well, and constantly exploiting this, I believe such a scenario is more likely than not. I hope the U.S military reviews it’s policy on letting soldiers be armed on a base.
